I tuned into your show on New Year's Eve because I thought Key West and Eastport, Me quirky NYE celebration would be interesting to watch. I was bored and disgusted. They showed very little of Key West and Eastport which would have been more interesting than watching Kathy blather on and on.

It's too bad so many people can't just relax and watch what THEY want. If they don't like this show THAT'S why there are other ones on at the same time. Just because you don't like what I like is not cause to disparage a great show. I am just over fifty (50), straight, white, and have not made midnight on NYE in over 15 years. I started watching this year's show and laughed my way in 2013 – thanks CNN!

How disgusting can CNN get???????? Kathy Griffin was disgusting and Cooper wasn't much better allowing her to do that do you realize that children were allowed to stay up and watch your show! SHAME ON YOU! ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm reporting this to the FCC

I will no longer watch CNN after last night's disgusting NYE display. Kathy G has some serious problems and your viewing audience should not be subjected to it. I know I won't be.....CNN will no longer be accessed on my TV.

Anderson Cooper, you are better than this! I am no prude but Kathy Griffin's humor was cheap and degrading to you, to CNN and to real, respectable comediennes and entertainers everywhere. I applaud you for not responding to her barrage of baiting and use of cheap humor. I finally switched channels because I could no longer endure your pain. I am enjoying your broadcast tonight much better. Even though the topic is on the House vote (not exactly cheerful) but your reputation is redeemed.

From Canada and oh boy!! Kathy Griffith is disgusting and should never be allowed on air. She was vile and repugnant towards Anderson and someone should have put a stop to her continued on and on and on attempts to sexually embarass Anderson. Get rid of that woman!!! It gives a bad impression and especially on CNN of all places.

Kathy Griffin lost me last night. While I find her occasionally entertaining, I found her behavior last night despicable and disgusting. Is CNN no longer a family station. My husband and I were watching in our playroom with our ten year old. Who in the world could ever have anticipated such a vulgar, foul display. And Anderson Cooper...shame on you for letting this woman degrade you and your reputation. And CNN...you are now complicit. Before, she said the F word on live tv and you let her come back. What are you going to do now?

Kathy Griffin was appalling last night and everyone at our new year's eve party here in the NC mountains on Lake James was equally blown away by her behavior, much less that you allowed it to be rerun again and again. Anderson Cooper's reputation as such an honorable newscaster is tainted by his association with her and CNN's approval of her behavior. What are you thinking???!!!! And that people all over the world were watching America's celebration being all about "going down" on Anderson???!!!! We are not prudes, just American Men and Women who want better representation of our country....where have our ethics and our morals gone??? What a sick, slack, and uncreative way to make people laugh on New Year's Eve? By making a fool of your best newscaster??? This broadcast was embarrassing for our country and most of its citizens I would believe. What does your network stand for? What do your employees have to "do" in order to please the American public??!!!! You are greatly underestimating the intelligence of our sense of humor and asking us to settle for accepting this atrocity as a celebration of our new year???!!!!

This show was one of the worst shows I had to turn you off..Anderson you have more integrity and professionalism than what I saw last night with Kathy. get a new co-host. I cannot believe CNN thinks this is a dynamic duo. What a disappointment

I was very dissappointed with your New Years Eve show and will not continue to watch it in the future as long as you have Kathy Griffin on the air. I love Anderson but Kathy needs to go. After the sardine incident she went on and on with her trashy mouth. I felt sorry for Anderson as he kept trying to cover up for her continuous sexual inuendos. It was embarassing and disrespectful. I hope there weren't any young children watching. Is this what the majority of Americans want to see on t.v.? If so, it's a sad future. Anybody else out there feel the same?

I think Kathy Griffin has gone too far this time. She should not be on that platform with A C a year from now. Let someone else take her place for one year. That being said, I would not mind meeting either one of them. A C is a great journalist. Ms. Griffin is probably great at a lot of things.

I have been watching CNN for 25 yrs and been a huge fan since coverage of the first Gulf War. However the spectacle on New Years Eve made me question whether CNN still has intergrity. Ratings be damned, have some class and never let that embarrassment happen again!
